The tomb of this great poet is located in the north of the city of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/destinations\/hamedan\/\" title=\"Hamedan\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"84077\">Hamedan<\/a>, in Baba Tahir Square. The original tomb of Baba Tahir dates back to the Seljuk era. At that time, an octagonal brick structure was built over Baba Tahir&#8217;s tomb, which was destroyed over time. During the Pahlavi era, another building was constructed in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baba Taher, known for his eloquent and profound do-bayti (couplets), is a legendary figure in Persian literature. Living in the 11th century, his poetry, characterized by its simplicity and depth, has touched the hearts of many across generations. His tomb in Hamedan has become a pilgrimage site for lovers of Persian literature and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/tomb-of-baba-taher\/#visiting-the-tomb\" >Visiting the Tomb<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/tomb-of-baba-taher\/#what-to-expect\" >What to Expect<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/tomb-of-baba-taher\/#conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visiting-the-tomb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"visiting-the-tomb\"><\/span>Visiting the Tomb<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/surfiran.com\/mag\/zereshk-polo-ba-morgh\/\" title=\"Zereshk Polo ba Morgh Recipe\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2879\">Tomb of Baba Taher<\/a> is located in Hamedan, a city known for its historical significance and natural beauty.
